I have the same problem with two sites : www.argenta.be and www.sony-europe.com . The proxy locks up for 30 seconds and then garbles up the headers. Sony is a IIS/4.x, which has a known problem : it does not send a <fin> TCP/IP packet at the end of the connection, so the proxy keeps on waiting until a timeout occurs. Does your proxy lock up also for about 30 seconds ? I don't know if this causes the headers to be garbled.
I've contacted the webmasters to get more details but up until now no response ... Peter. Brett Hutley wrote: > > J.D.
